In Ottawa Canada, Carson did a great job of installing a new toilet as well as taking away the old one. All at a reasonable price. We discussed the type of toilet I wanted, he went out and bought the toilet, he installed the toilet and took away the old one. He was fast and efficient and did a great job at cleaning up afterwards. Great Job Carson! Thank you very much! And thank you to John The Plumber!Posted on Google![]()

I chose to go with John the Plumber because of their reviews online. Originally, they tried pawning off the job a few hours before the scheduled appointment to a sister-company because they had an emergency come up. I decided to move the date to accommodate the scheduling conflict and so I could keep John the Plumber as the provider of the service. Matt (plumber) was great! Very personable, knowledgeable and did a great job identifying the issue and fixing the problem. I will definitely reach out for future plumbing issues.Posted on Google![]()
